I do color matching for a small paint shop in Ohio and last Tuesday a lady brought in a chipped piece of trim from her sunroom that had faded unevenly, so I ran 11 test cards under daylight before it clicked. She sighed and said her last guy matched it in 10 minutes, and I had to explain that his repair failed after one winter. Does anyone else's family think your job is just grabbing a can off a shelf?
